Not much progress made on the pantry project today. This evening before bedtime I was able to put a coat of stain on the soon to be shelves.  I'm hoping the color combinations work well.  The paint was in the mis-tinted discount bin at Wal-Mart.  The stain was leftover from an island creation when we first moved into this house.

Here is a sneak peak of some of the work being done and of course, my super awesome cute helper.

Less than a week ago I decided to start a project I've been planning for quite some time.  When this house was built they put a "closet" on one end of the kitchen.  We've used it as the pantry it was intended to be however functionally, it has been a disaster.  We had a shelf hanging on the wall that stuck out about 12-15 inches which was great for storing food and such however that made access to the 2-foot deep shelves on each end.  Things got lost.  You know...just found a box of hamburger helper that expired 2 years ago...type of lost.

So in a moment of craziness the pantry project began.

And here is a sneak peak of the first part of installing our new pantry shelves.
